A day out in Leicester took us to Escape Asylum today, where we tried all 3 of their rooms. Asylum...well...not a good idea if you’re sensitive to flashing lights or have heart problems! ????❤️ The first part of the room doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the theme but is good fun if you can overcome the frustration! Once we got past that the scares commenced & Games Master Olivia manipulated the atmosphere brilliantly to prey upon our natural nervousness at being locked in an asylum with the ghost of Edith, who wasn’t going to let us out alive unless we solved her murder. ????????????????⚗️????⚰️????This game is geared towards mental conundrums & centres upon solving one central puzzle. By the time we’d figured that out (with a lot of confusion & feeling a bit stupid along the way) we were just a bit too confused & slow at grasping how to complete the very final task & ran out of time. ⌛️????Whilst I didn’t enjoy his game as much as some, just because it doesn’t have as much puzzle type variety as we really like, it’s a well staged room which will certainly raise your pulse rate & the hour will fly by. ????⏰???? Having been killed by Edith in the Asylum our spirits went on to try their luck at Cirque du Slay’s circus. ???????????? Finding ourselves in Momo’s circus lair some of the tasks in there were quite straightforward, others a little trickier to figure out. Evil Clown Momo made us squirm to ask for help, but Kind Clown Momo repaid our efforts when we asked nicely enough & aptly named Games Master Mo played both parts brilliantly. ????????This game is a bit more practical than Asylum- if compared to the Crystal Maze tv programme it’d feature a little bit each of skill, mental & physical. ????????♀️⏰ This was by far my favourite room of the day with a great blend of things to do, a cool quirky ending & a few giggles & squeals along the way! Having enjoyed the first two rooms we decided on the spur of the moment to go & have some dinner before coming back & taking on Eyeball Bill in his cabin. ????????????This was scare free, a welcome relief after the other two rooms! As with Asylum there’s one skill type puzzle near the beginning which doesn’t seem to have much to do with the rest of the theming but other than that it’s largely well thought out & immersive. It’ll have you scooting backwards & forwards and there are a wider variety of puzzle types in this room than Asylum, but it still has it’s challenges & similarly there were a couple of puzzles we just felt baffled by. ????????????????️???? Thankfully the Sheriff, well played by Olivia, was kind in rewarding our funky chicken dancing with some tips when we really needed them which meant we just about escaped with our eyeballs intact! ???????? This is the only room I’d say is potentially family friendly, depending entirely on how resilient your child is. Compared to many escape room venues this is a very professional & slick operation, themed from the moment you enter & well located within the city centre. The GM’s were really friendly, clearly enjoy their work & made our visit a great experience. The games here aren’t for the feint hearted, not overly suitable for young children & I wouldn’t say they’d be the best choice for your first ever escape room experience as they’re not as straight forward as some, but for a challenging & fun day out with some scary thrills & a few laughs as well they’re definitely worth the trip. ????⏱ Apparently they’re opening a new venue in Leicester this summer with 6 rooms. I really hope they’re not all scare/horror based as I’m not really a fan of the scary or really spooky, but either way I’m already looking forward to coming back & giving them a try. ☀️????????????????

Reviewed By KayS1564
We have been to a few escape rooms in Leicester, but this by far has been the best experience. The room was great, lots to do and varied in difficultly. When we needed help the clues were helpful but didn't tell you the answer, making the experience great. We want to say a huge thank you to Ian, he explained everything in such a fun way, his clues and game help were fantastic. We couldn't of asked for a better host. We will be back to tackle more of the rooms available. Fantastic evening out.

Had a fantastic time here on New Years Day 2020 - the mixture of a super friendly host, a great location and an excellent game in itself. By far the most enjoyable game we’ve played (of my wife and I’s nearly 100) which doesn’t rely on tech or gizmos - this is all the essentials of escape rooms at their core, done brilliantly. A real emphasis on searching (something we’ve always been sketchy at...), with a fun, rewarding score system accompanying your basic mission: escape! So much to do in one escape, but brilliantly paced so that we felt like we really had to earn it. And great to have what we missed explained afterwards in such detail - really completes the experience. Can’t wait to see what Hour Escape come up with next - consider Escape The Gallery a must-play; especially for enthusiasts who want a lot to do.

One word - Spectacular! My mates and I play a lot of online gaming which often involve puzzles and teamwork. We wanted to put this to the test in reality and wow was it worth it! We’ve done a few escape rooms before, but none, have lived up to the likes of Escapologic. We did two "rooms" but I wouldn’t even call them rooms, these are entire builds to fully immerse you in the experience. We did "The Gateway & "Operation Magnus". If you like horror films/thrillers/paranormal activity, you’re going to love this! We were sooooo looking forward to getting in there and closing the gateway...but as soon as you are in this abandoned, run down cottage, you soon want out. Within seconds we were jumping out of our skin, clinging to each other, as well as working together to push through. What’s even better, if you get stuck but don’t wanna ask for a clue. Your guide will chip in but in a way that fits within the experience. We got stuck in the gateway on one puzzle, needed some help, the radio came to life, static crackled it’s way through, the lights flickered and this voice guided us through...not without fear though. Operation Magnus was perfect for us as we work well together as a team and you need that in this WWII bunker. Not only does this feel like you’re actually in a bunker, but you feel under stress as there signs that the guards could come back at any moment. Having to work from one section to another, through the bunker, decipher codes, split into two groups, answer calls from your outside ‘resistance’ to guide you through. This really feels like a WWII secret agency mission to save the UK from a total wipeout. Overall; if you’re looking for a thrill and jumpscares, go close "The Gateway" (we failed). If you work best as a team and there’s at least 3/4 of you who enjoy taking on the enemy in the world war then accept "Operation Magnus" (we passed in 44mins). We are DEFINITELY going to head back and do more here, but we are going to adventure over to the Nottingham one instead to explore their different zones, time periods and thrills. The staff were fantastic, helpful, friendly, inviting, PASSIONATE (I block this because we’ve been to some before who are not passionate about the rooms and that can ruin you’re entire experience)...and most importantly, you can have a laugh with the staff here. It’s a fun place to go! 100%

Had a fantastic time here completing my first ‘escape room’ experience with 4 friends. The rooms are brilliantly themed and thought out. I was impressed with the level of attention to detail. The tasks were challenging but great fun. Neil was friendly and welcoming upon our arrival and helped us get into the whole experience. Would love to return to complete another escape room here in the future.
